DEVS has been developed for over a year to serve
as an experimental framework for natural systems
modeling techniques. It enables discrete event,
general purpose, object oriented, component based,
GIS connected, and collaborative visual simulation
model development and execution. The sample model
implementation shows that this experimental
environment can be used for solving any complex
problems solvable by discrete-event simulation,
but it is especially suited for natural system
simulation. Currently only hierarchical block and
cellular models are modeled and simulated, but a
multi-layered modeling paradigm for spatially
distributed systems (with vector and cellular
models) will eventually be implemented in the
environment.
